TROUBLES OF THE KAISER.

The troubles or the Kaiser are only beginning. He has got his war, but it is not the war he wanted. He wanted a .war that he could get out of at his own selected moment. He has got a war that he cannot get out of. There is no way out. He and his Huns are caged. Some despondent folk are always wondering when the Kaiser and his crew will be turned out of Belgium. I advise them not to worry about it. The Kaiser’s main trouble is that he does not know how to get out of Belgium. i wish I could help the poor man, but I really do not know how. Belgium will be the death of him. Belgium is the grave of Germany. Another serious problem is tormenting the Kaiser, He does not know bow to get out of France. He has been there for nearly a year. T think he is homesick. He cannot get on or get out. The French are in no hurry to let his imperial head out of chancery. It. is a very sore head, and it is going to be sorer. If the Kaiser were to explain to his adoring peo- J

pie that the climate of France is un-

healthy, and that he desires a change of air, there would be more trouble. Then there is the Russian riddle. How is the Kaiser going to get his armies out of Russia? It strikes me that they are there for the winter. And the Russian winter is notoriously unkind to grand armies. I wish 1 could take you on a tour through the empty homes | of the Fatherland. You would then know what trouble is. At this very moment millions of Germans are asking each other the same question: “Will the war ever end?” And the | more thoughtful German- are asking j another question: “What is gV. . - to happen to us after the war?” After the war the Germans will expect to be received again in polite society. Wno will receive them? Will they be welcome anywhere? I fear not. Jas. Douglas, in “London Opinion.”
